i go into garden to have no worries. or at least little worries. so why allow other worries here. this is an extension of the garden. not an extension of worries. put your worries in the weed pail then throw the weeds on top and compost the lot of them. now about that flower. four images…

I love the details and the contrast in the veins.
Yup. They really accent the bloom. I may have to try crossing a veined against veined this summer. If for nothing else to satisfy curiosity.
John, the first photo with its extraordinary detail and color contrast is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today. You have no idea how therapeutic–
while the title evokes pain, the photo evokes beauty….. 😉
